A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ACCORDING TO MARK (FIRST READER ONLY)

JESUS TOOK PETER, JAMES AND JOHN UP A HIGH MOUNTAIN/

THERE, HE WAS TRANSFIGURED BEFORE THEM/

HIS CLOTHES BECAME DAZZLING WHITE./

THE DISCIPLES WERE TERRIFIED./

THEN A CLOUD CAME, CASTING A SHADOW OVER THEM./

FROM THE CLOUD CAME A VOICE./

“THIS IS MY BELOVED SON. LISTEN TO HIM.”/

SUDDENLY, LOOKING AROUND, THEY NO LONGER SAW ANYONE./

JESUS WAS ALONE WITH THEM./
